I photographed Shrimati Susanna at her dance studio at her home in the UK. She studied Bharata Natyam for many years and is a dance teacher. I came across her performing some years before and approached her later to use as a model. My practice typically uses deaf models signing or performing sign dance, however I realised that the hand gestures or mudras of Bharata Natyam relate very much to sign language with their symbolic meanings. For the back grounds I looked for out of copyright photographs of India. I borrowed a book from the library of photographs by a 19th century photographer – I think it was Raja Deendayal. Natya Usha – uses a long distance shot of the Taj Mahal, Agra, Natya Varana uses a shot of the Taj Mahal taken from the opposite bank of the river Yamuna. Natya Leena’s background is of a temple. Natya Sandhya is of the famous wooden bridge in Kashmir.
The prints were named with Indian girls names for their meaning.
Usha – meaning dawn
Sandhya – meaning evening
Varana – meaning river
Leena – meaning strength
